At this very moment, the scene changes to Crystal Prep in what it was doing at this time. As time goes by, from every classes Twilight went to, her fellow students were, well….let’s say everything is not all about ‘making friends’ as done by Canterlot High. In Crystal Prep, the only thing everyone is focus about, is being winners in areas they are good at, never showing flaw or failing in what they do in where the staff make many feel they are the elite & above the other. Of course over time even when Crystal Prep & Canterlot High had competed in the Friendship Games, Crystal Prep’s winning streak has developed some…unhealthy results. Making many students that go there feel they are the best, better than the rest….all but one. Twilight Sparkle was somewhat, out of play with the other students, brilliant with her intellect that the staffs & some of those of Imperial Phoenix Members were impressed by her skills alone.

However, during lunch, Twilight was seen having lunch in the cafeteria, but she was doing so….alone. In the past, she recalled how she met Ben & spent a lot of time together. Even as they along with Twilight’s little sister Nyx, went to Canterlot High during a mission of mingling & investigating the case of alien origin that they did not know much about until later cases of them befriending a group that was friends with someone like her. But after other events played out from going back & forth, only Ben & Nyx got the chance to attend Canterlot High while she remains in Crystal Prep like someone’s property. Twilight sniffs to wipe a tear away from her eye, as none of the other students seem to care…

“Look at her. Sitting alone again.” One girl student whispered off in noticing Twilight.

“Right, she used to have someone, but he got transferred.” A second girl student whispered back in knowing about what happened.

“Now she’s all alone, like anyone cares.” A third girl student whispered off to a guy in seeing how Twilight has no one.

Twilight felt like the gossip of the discussion, she felt like things couldn’t get much worse. But they did, & in a bad way.

“Listen up, all of you!” Jason is seen entering the scene in which he earns some attention. “I’ve been receiving some reports about our students not getting along with others. We don’t tolerate that here! For example, someone has been causing problems to our beloved & important prized pupil here! If we learn someone is disregarding the rules to cause trouble that will ruin our school, they’ll earn themselves a long detention class. No, scratch that!” As he was issuing out some hardcore stuff, he was about to bring it down on a whole level of trouble. “Anyone that does such a thing that ruins Crystal Prep & all it stands for in raising winners, will be place as work labor for your 'Great Uniter Strikespell’, & let it be said that those that are criminals work on special projects & don’t come out…ALIVE! Do I make myself clear?!” He yelled out his voice on the last part in being very strict in his words.

Many of the other students ended up becoming a bit frightful in having heard all of that; none of them even wanna think about if Jason was joking or not from that scary attitude.

“Good, then let that be a lesson…you can go from winners in heaven to losers in hell! CLEAR!” Jason issued this off in being strict in his words in wanting his message to be heard loud & clear.

That caused many of the other students to yelp before returning to their daily routine while trying to not cause trouble; for their sakes of experiencing the ‘hell’ that Jason mentioned. Of course Twilight glares at the guy because what he did just made things harder to get by.

“I don't need your help, Jason. I can handle things myself.” Twilight remarked off to say while glaring at the guy for scaring a lot of students.

“Don't push your luck, Twi. You'd think these idiots would even care or respect for you. No? Good to hear…” Jason remarked off in stating these facts a bit hard than trying to sugar-coat it. “If you're worried about competing against your old friends at the Friendship Games, don't bother. As far as the decisions by the staff of the school goes, you most likely are not competing. So you should be pleased about it.” He issued off in mentioning this in what will be done, Twilight may not even compete in the games.

“Why? Why did you help me?” Twilight raised an eyebrow in asking why this guy was hoping her out.

“Like I said before, you're too valuable & important from being thrown off to some meaningless purpose. You're the proud Imperial Phoenix Scientist, not Canterlot High's Western Dragon. Never forget that.” Jason was issuing this off for the girl to keep this in mind of what Twilight is & where she stands.

“Like you forget about your team, you were once Western Dragon Fighter. And you left them?” Twilight remarked off in the argument of having to be told of this from someone who was once a part of Shadow Dragon’s team.

“They left me to that Psychopath Joke. I almost died because of him. Shadow Dragon chosen Ben over me!” Jason snapped off to say this in sounding upset in recalling the past. “That kid barely has anything to beat me! He doesn't have military skills, martial arts or even strategies. He's ashamed to his own family and brother-in-law.” The guy was bad-mouthing Ben in stating that Ben Mare will not amount to anything with what he lacks.

“From what I see, it's more than strength & fighting, because Ben has something better than you have….having friends.” Twilight sternly remarks off to state this on her own option that Ben has one thing Jason doesn’t seem to know the value of; friends.

“Huff…When are you going to learn to stop thinking about friendship? They're just meaningless...” Jason huffs off to say this to look away in getting tired of this conversation.

Soon the guy leaves the scene as Twilight sighs in feeling like things for her are not gonna be going so well. The scene begins to darken here as whatever happens next…well, the girl is unsure.

--------------------------------

Meanwhile, the scene focuses on where we find Sunset Shimmer, the Mane Five, Ben, Nyx along with Goldie’s group of him, Pinkamena & Jack Zen. They were using their little wheels to get themselves across the streets from their high school to the police station to show something they stubble upon. But even as they were going & making some good progress, a rumbling noise got certain attentions from the others as if….it’s time for their next meal.

“Hey Ben, can we stop for a quick bite?” Rainbow Dash asked this off in liking to catch a moment to eat something.

“Can’t it wait? We’ve still an hour away from the police station?” Ben asked if that can wait, they are kinda trying to get to where they wanna go in a hurry.

“But Ben, we’re missing lunch, how can we pedal, skate or anything when low on fuel?” Pinkie Pie asked off in feeling that they can’t do much when they are low on fuel.

“Hate ta say it, but we can’t keep this up if we run out of energy.” Applejack stated to say this in seeing that they got trouble when they can’t go on if their tanks are low.

“I’m getting hungry too.” Nyx held her tummy in feeling that she needs something to calm the rumbling down.

“Look, there’s a fast food spot, we’ll pick up lunch there & go.” Jack Zen pointed to spotting a spot they are coming up, they can get something to go if they have to.

“What do you say Ben, is that alright with you?” Goldie asked off in hoping that Ben will agree to that much.

“Alright, let’s just grab something on the display & hurry up.” Ben replied off in agreeing to the term of stopping to eat something.

The group sigh in relief, they almost felt like they would starve before reaching where they wanna get to. Soon they reach a local ‘sub’ place where they were quick to pick out their choices. However, while everyone else managed to chow on their subs, Fluttershy was looking between both the salads &…dare to say, the MEAT sections! Fluttershy looked ready to scoop the vegetables like she usually goes for, but she seem to sweat with a shaky hand as it seem like it was….going for the meats.

“Hey Fluttershy?” Flash called out in getting the girl’s attention.

“Eek!” Fluttershy yelped in surprise to suddenly have her hands move quickly to scoop up anything on the display of the veggies & meat to have a large green meal.

“We’re almost done with our food, how’s about you?” Flash pointed out in where they are almost done, so they wanna know if the girl here has finished her meal.

“Oh, well, I guess I sorta scooped my up. Heh-heh…eh…” Fluttershy sheepishly said this as she showed what she had on her plate from her scared & rash act to grab things. “I’ll eat it right away, so that I’m not a bother of delaying us.” She quickly got some dressings to cover her meal & was using a fork to start eating.

“But Fluttershy, you scooped up something else on your plate.” Pinkamena pointed out in noticing that their friend has something else on her plate. “I see salad, tomatoes, cucumbers, and….” She was counting the different things that Fluttershy had so far…

“Yep….it tastes just like I usually eat…a nice heathy veggie meal.” Fluttershy replied off with a cautious smile in trying to finish her meal, but…

“Um, would that include turkey & sausage packs?” Pinkamena cuts in to which she pointed those things out that were MEATS in the girl’s menu.

Fluttershy stops her eating in which she, as everyone else looked, her salad was not just veggies but….there were different meats mixed in. Fluttershy gulped down extra hard to sudden look a bit pale & sweaty, but tries to hold out from realizing what she’s done.

“Oh, I…guess I was so nervous & surprised, I…ugh…didn’t noticed.” Fluttershy sheepishly said this off in having not even know that there was meat mix into her food.

“Really, cause after eating veggies so much, you think you notice that itty-bitty-tiny-weeney-mini-difference?” Pinkie Pie came near her friend in thinking that Fluttershy should have tasted something off before having swallowed anything.

“Ugh….ugh….I guess the…dressing concealed it.” Fluttershy replied off a bit nervous & worried to say what may have been the answer. “I mean, it’s not like I did it on purpose.” She stated off in thinking that the matter was an accident, she didn’t do it on choice; right…right?

“Fluttershy, I may not know what’s going on at times, but even I know you don’t eat meats, especially cute ones!” Rainbow Dash exclaimed off in mentioning this as something very strange to see.

“Rainbow’s right, ye rather starve than eat something’ made fro’ a little critter.” Applejack nods off in clearly agreeing about the manner of what they are seeing.

“Well let’s remove the little mess here.” Pinkie Pie was using a napkin to help clean Fluttershy’s lips, but as she was not careful near the teeth…something was ripped off. “Wow….your teeth must be sharp to pierce a hole in this thing!” She stated in showing a tear in the napkin, like Fluttershy’s teeth are really sharp for a kind hearted girl.

“Um, I guess.” Fluttershy lightly replied off with a nervous response to the teeth manner.

“Fluttershy, are you feeling okay?” Sunset asked off in sounding a bit worried if their friend was alright or not.

“Um, well…yes…maybe…” Fluttershy replied off to say this in being a bit unsure, then tried to put on a nice smile, but…. “Oh!” Unknown to her, she showed her fangs from her mouth, & even after covering her mouth, everyone saw it; the fangs!

“Darling…did your front teeth look more…crescent shape like…dare I say…?” Rarity was slowly asking if what she saw was real, cause they took the form of… “A vampire?” She exclaimed in shock in almost fearing if that was it, Fluttershy has FANGS all of a sudden.

“Don’t tell us Terrorcreep sucked your blood!” Ben raised an eyebrow in thinking that the guy caring for Fluttershy sucked her blood.

“The nerve of that guy! Many of us never thought he would do that to someone he cares for to have a normal life!” Jack Zen stated off in feeling upset that Terrorcreep would stoop so low as to take Fluttershy’s blood.

“Um, he didn’t….I…um…” Fluttershy was looking away in trying to come up with something here. “Am wearing fake fang teeth?” She stated this off in what she was wearing to the others.

“Really, they sure look real to me,” Pinkie Pie raised an eyebrow in pondering if the fangs are fake or not.

“Please understand, I thought that maybe…this little thing could help me not feel unreliable. To feel what it may be like if I was strong & reliable if I was a vampire, to help & save my friends than when I was weak.” Fluttershy explained

“Fluttershy, you’re not weak, you’re a lot stronger than you know.” Sunset came up to pat her friend’s back to not be discourage over something in what the girl thinks of herself to them.

“Really?” Fluttershy raised an eyebrow in having heard this to be a bit curious.

“Take it from someone who was a She-Demon, others will like you for who you are, not what you wanna become.” Sunset pointed off that Fluttershy should be herself & not try to change herself by force; they like her for who she is.

Fluttershy smiled in feeling somewhat happy from that claim as she looked to everyone in seeing in their eyes, they like Fluttershy no matter what if she’s weak or not; as long as she does her best.

“Alright, let’s get going now. We’re almost to the police station from here.” Flash stated off that they best get going as they are almost near their destination.

Suddenly, as the group was getting ready to go on their little wheels, they spot a vehicle pulling up. When noticing it, it was a black limo that was very stylist & looked expensive to boot while never seeing a gray skull Dragon on the front hood as an ornament.

“Oh, a limo! Why, there must be someone super important coming here!” Rarity exclaimed to say this in seeing what was here before them.

“Like….” Ben raised an eyebrow in who would be coming here in a limo.

“Ben darling, businessman, celebrities, movie stars, anyone who can afford a limo must be wealthy.” Rarity stated in saying that anyone with enough money that is famous can afford to ride in a limo.

“Oh, I think it’s some movie stars playing a gangster role.” Pinkie Pie stated off in who she thinks was in the vehicle.

“Why do you think that?” Nyx raised an eyebrow in why Pinkie Pie said such a thing.

“Cause they’re lowering the window in costumes & even have them prop machine guns.” Pinkie Pie pointed out in what was happening & what she was seeing.

Just as Pinkie Pie said, the limo’s windows were slowly going down to reveal some gents in suits & shades & holding some, machine guns; as if rope-playing a gangster theme.

“Wait a second, if they were doing a movie here, where’s the cameras?” Flash stated off in being puzzled in not seeing any cameras around if there was a movie being filmed.

“Guys, I don’t think they’re shooting a movie here.” Goldie stated off in having a really bad feeling about this.

“Then what are they shooting here?” Rainbow Dash asked off in who these guys are & what they are doing if not shooting a film.

“Bang-bang-bangbang-bangvhmm…/Thousvh-Thousvh-Thousvh-Thousvh…..” Then without warning, the suited men were firing off their guns at the direction of the teens in which upon what was happening, the only normal method thing to do was….DUCK & COVER! Yes, the gang duck under & pull the movable tables off to use as protection shields to last them time, but this act caused others by the sub shop to scream, flee or hide.

“US! THEY’RE SHOOTING AT US!” Rainbow Dash yelled out in having lowered her head in seeing someone is shooting at them.

“This is no time to panic!” Pinkamena issued off to say this in what they gotta be doing, trying to stay calm.

“An’ just wha time is it when we’re duck behind these here tables & them bullets?” Applejack remarked off in sarcastically asking the question of what they should be doing when pin down.

“The element of surprise!” Pinkamena stated off in knowing what they need to help them out.

Then Pinkamena takes a soda can & then carefully aims it to be thrown over that makes a noise. That caused the shooters to stop to point their guns if someone was escaping, but saw no one. Then when they looked back, the targets were on their bikes, skates, etc. to ride down a hill to escape them.

“Hey look, there they go!” One thug pointed off in what they saw was happening; the teens are escaping.

“Punch the gas George!” Another thug yelled out for their driving buddy to step on the gas.

Soon the limo was revving up & making its way to go after the fleeing teens. As the gang was going on a loopy downhill, they were yelping as more gun fire was heard as they continued to try to escape while not getting shot.

“Why are they shooting at us?” Nyx yelled out in wondering why someone is shooting at them.

“I think we can make a pretty good guess on why.” Sunset stated off to say this in knowing why someone is trying to kill them.

“Why!?” Pinkie Pie asked off in not really knowing the answer.

“Rarity, are those the men you bumped into?” Sunset asked her friend in recognizing the thugs in suits.

“Why yes, I recognize those horrid threads anywhere.” Rarity replied off in suddenly knowing those men from their choice in clothing.

“Powfruvhmm…/Bamfruvhmmm…” Then in a sudden motion, a missile launcher was heard that exploded just behind the gang that caused them to yelp from the shaking; looking back, their pursuers ALSO had a missile launcher to which it was being reloaded.

“THEY HAVE A LAUNCHER TOO!?” Jack Zen yelled out in seeing what was going on, their pursuers have a missile launcher on them.

“Way to go Rarity, you just had to insult their clothing.” Rainbow Dash raised to roll her eyebrow in seeing what their friend did now.

“Well pardon me for being a fashion credit.” Rarity rolled her eyes in remarking that it’s not her fault those thugs have terrible taste for wear.

“Can we focus here, PLEASE,” Applejack yelled off for the two to focus on something; like escaping with their lives intact.

“Eek! How are we gonna lose them?” Fluttershy yelps to duck from when another bullet almost got them.

“Hello…911, I got an emergency….WE’RE UNDER ATTACK! Heading Down Old Avenue!” Goldie was using his cell phone to call 911 to report of this criminal activity in pursuit.

“We’re sorry, your call cannot be connected due to your involvement in unnecessary activity.” A female voice machine was responding to this in being unable to take the call by a strange reason.

“What does that mean?” Goldie asked off in being puzzled, that’s not what the 911 service is supposed to say when you have to call for emergency.

“It means, no matter what, you make a call & we’ll find you. You dug your own grave.” The female voice machine responded off to say this in making a creepy threat that did not sit well right with the others.

“They’ve hacked our phones….that stinks.” Flash stated in realizing that whoever is after them doesn’t want them contacting anyone.

“Flash, you’re a genius!” Ben replied off to say this in what his best pal just said.

“I am? Well, glad to be helpful, but….why do you say that?” Flash replied off to say this while being curious of what he did.

“Down there!” Ben pointed down to where there was a dump truck full of manure near an alley way. “We’ll lose them down that alley.” Ben explained i what they can do to hopefully lose their pursuers.

“That’s a tight squeeze.” Sunset stated off in seeing how much they have to squeeze that in while avoiding a crash in the back of that truck.

“Can we do it?” Fluttershy asked off nervously in not knowing if they can pull this off.

“If we work together, come on!” Nyx stated off to say that if they do this together, they can pull something off.

“Let me lead guys, sports…is my game!” Rainbow Dash issued off in a confident voce to lead since sports are here thing.

Soon Rainbow Dash was taking the lead while telling everyone to hold hands & not ask questions. Everyone was doing as they were told, as Rainbow was in the lead as they were going downhill. But because no one was moving & letting the hill drop them, the limo with the thugs were gaining to get ready for the next attack.

“We got them in our sight.” One underling stated in seeing that they got the target looked on now.

“Hold it steady….steady….” Another underling spoke off while aiming the launcher in preparing to fire another round.

“Anytime now Rainbow?” Applejack asked off in hoping her friend makes a move before it’s too late.

“Not yet!” Rainbow Dash stated in not being ready yet.

“Um, Rainbow….” Flash asked off in seeing the limo of their pursuers are closing in.

“Not yet…” Rainbow Dash stated in trying to focus her eyes on the prize ahead.

Things were getting pretty close as it looked like the thugs were about to attack on the group that were sitting ducks until….

“NOW!” Rainbow Dash yelled out in seeing the chance to act was now.

Soon Rainbow Dash used their chain ring to just about narrowly escape in throwing those in back to take the front & go into the alley way. And after everyone made it, the thugs driving down saw where they went, only to notice where they were heading for….a parked manure truck.

“WAAAAAUUGGHHH!” The men in suits screamed in being unable to stop in time before. “Clupowwfruvhmmm….” Soon the limo crashed right into the back of a manure truck, & a load of the manure was dump all over the said limo & got through the open windows & moon roof. As for the others that avoided that danger, they saw what happened to sigh with relief.

“That….was…EPIC!” Rainbow Dash exclaimed in feeling so alive after what they experienced.

“More like a close shave, I do NOT want to get manure all over my outfit!” Rarity exclaimed to complain about how close they were to almost getting manured instead.

“Well, at least we’re safe, right?” Fluttershy meekly tried to look at the positive side of things.

“Not fer long, them goons will come after us.” Applejack pointed out in knowing what troubles they are gonna be in soon.

“Should we follow where this alley leads to & go from there?” Pinkie Pie asked off in thinking of what they should do next here.

“No, more likely they may have friends waiting.” Goldie stated in thinking of what to expect in the worst case like this.

“It’s just like a casual gangster mob movie, your being chased & so guys in matching suits will come for you.” Jack Zen stated in recalling a movie about something like this happening; they are living in a mobster gangster film horror.

“So then, how can we lose them?” Nyx asked off in how to lose who’s trying to kill them.

“Well, I think this maybe our only option.” Pinkamena stated to say while moving what looks like a sewer lid off the alley road block. “We’ll take the sewers.” She stated this without batting an eye to the plan.

“Ugh….you can’t be serious darling, going into such a dreadful place.” Rarity replied off gross to thinking they have to do something this disgusting.

“You wanna stay up here & met with the guys who you said their outfits were horrible?” Rainbow Dash remarked off in stating of another option they get stuck with than a sewer trip.

“Hugh, the things one must endure to suffer.” Rarity sighs in defeat in willing to go down a sewer.

“I’m sure it won’t be that bad.” Fluttershy replied off in thinking that things will be alright, somehow.

“Right, maybe we won’t even run into any sewer gators.” Pinkie Pie smiled off in simply saying this which caused some to have nervous thoughts.

“Okay….probably not helping as much.” Sunset rolled her eyes in thinking they could deal without thinking of running into sewer gators.

“Come on, maybe we can try to find the police station by the sewers.” Ben stated in thinking this was the best way to evade sight & reach who they are trying to get to.

“Then we better get ‘ta it, before those thugs come around!” Applejack stated to say this in what they gotta do while the getting’s good.

“Careful now girls, watch out for anything you may step on.” Flash warns the girls going in first which the girls felt a bit gross out to not think about that before the boys would follow afterwards.

As the gang were making their escape into the sewers, the limo was seen pulling out from its crash into the manure, but the smell was another story. As the thugs were coming out of it, some spit off the stuff that was on their face & mouth (don’t ask) while seeing what happened.

“Oh man, the boss ain’t gonna like this.” Thug one stated off in seeing this looked bad.

“That we lost the case & the targets.” Thug two stated in knowing they lost the case & the teens.

“That, and we just ram his limo in the back of that manure truck.” Thug one pointed out that they also got their boss’s limo to smell like manure.

“Oh, he’s gonna hate it when we tell him either one.” Thug two stated in seeing that any bad news they say will be bad for them afterwards.

So the thugs begin to clear off any manure they got on the limo while looking around for the escape teens with the case. Never knowing that a sewer lid was place on it’s top to conceal that those on the run, just made their break in escaping from sight. Everything begins to go dark around now as things continue from here…

---------------------

Meanwhile the scene is showing something, something that is….strange, & unusual in its meaning. As it’s covered in strange mist & cloud, but it begins to clear away to reveal something. We find what is Human Twilight, waking up, looking up & standing from her spot, & then sees something before her; it was none other than…Equestria! There was so much of it, it seem…amazing to the girl.

“All right, Twilight. What did you see?” A voice spoke off in talking to the teen girl from above in the air.

“I see myself...in a magical land…” Twilight’s voice is heard as her human body was not moving the lips as she talked.

Soon at the moment, Human Twilight got up & looks around, looking amazed to see various objects all around, but there was something else to be seen of many different creatures; there were ponies that could talk, & so much more….

“I see. So what else?” The voice asked off in what else the girl was seeing.

“I see talking ponies…& various creatures. I see a world of magic, what I always been wanting to see. I see...friends.” Twilight’s voice exclaimed from seeing this that memorized her.

The human version spots pony versions of her old friends from Canterlot High, greeting with Pinkie Pie bouncing around, all happy & such….

“And what else?” The voice asked off in what else the girl was seeing.

Suddenly at this time, a flash appears, knocking Twilight back. As she got up, she is horrified to see the whole world a big ruin.

“I see Equestria...a living hell! I see...something flying...something…” Twilight’s voice was trying to describe something she was seeing.

The Human Twilight gasps upon what she looks up to see a flying human figure in the sky, laughing insanely over all that was done.

“A monster! I'm in Hell!” Twilight’s voice exclaimed to say in seeing what was something that look like a monster to her.

“Focus, Twilight. What is the monster?” The voice asked off in wanting more detail about the monster.

“It's...it’s…” Twilight’s voice was trying to put the subject into words, and…

Soon the figure got closer, Human Twilight looks horrified as she saw…the most unexacting thing to ever be seen.

“It's me! My God, the corruption...I'm killing Equestria! I'm killing my friends! My world is in ruin!” Twilight’s voice is heard sounding horrified in witnessing what this scene shows, that the monster is here, destroying everything she cares for and always wanted: friends and magic!

“That's enough. Twilight Sparkle, wake up now!” The voice spoke off in a more rash tone while trying to wake Twilight up.

---------------

Then in an instant, something happens, everything begins to blur out while we find something strange has occurred. Within what looks like the real world, we find Human Twilight is on the couch. A man nearby is in a chair, a blue skinned man with white eyebrows, white hair, is wearing a vest & brown pants, & is wearing glasses. He appears to be some kind of psychological therapist in where Twilight herself is located in a strange office.

“So what did we learn, Miss Twilight?” The man asked off in speaking to the girl.

“Uuugh…Dr. G. Gar, this session isn't helping things. All my dreams do is ending with me as a monster! Is this is what my investigation into what's going will lead to?!” Twilight groans to hold her head in feeling strange as she tries to ask for some understanding of what it is she’s dreaming about.

“Just a dream, Twilight, nothing more. You are scared, aren't you? You can open up. Bray?” The man called Dr. G. Gar replied off before turning to speak to someone nearby.

Then entering the picture was a hunchbacked man with brown skin & dark brown hair, in a orange shirt & some sort of orange hood. He appeared to be an assistant to the man working with Twilight.

“Yes, doctor?” The hunchback man known as Bray replied.

“More tea for me and Miss Sparkle.” Dr. G. Gar issued off for some tea.

Bray nods in response, as he makes more tea by the spot before serving it to Twilight & Dr. G. Gar at the moment.

“Is there any problems you wish to discuss? Remember, anything you say is safe with me.” Dr. G. Gar issued off to say this in wanting to calm the girl.

“It's like this, doctor. I don't like it here at Crystal Prep.” Twilight sighs off to admit something in all honesty.

“BWA HA HA HA!” Bray laughs off in having heard this, a brilliant & talented & prize student of the school, not liking it here; it’s priceless.

“Enough, Bray.” Dr. G. Gar sternly lectures Bray to cease that action before turning to Twilight. “Go on.

“Hugh….The students are snotty & not much in being friends with another other than winning things…” Twilight sighs in explaining this about what she doesn’t like about the school & what it’s doing. “I can't get out from Jason Striker & his goons' thumb. I've missed my old friends at Canterlot High...they were my true friends…” She stated off in how she missed those that she considered to be at home with, her friends back at Canterlot High.

“Is there anyone else you're worried about? Besides friends?” Dr. G. Gar raised an eyebrow to ask while sipping his tea.

“There's this...Strikespell made some sort of ship which he is using to get rid of enemies of humanity...we protest it, but he won't listen. It's like he doesn't even care if it turns the U.S. into a dictatorship! It makes me sick!” Twilight explained this off in what was going on that Strikespell has done that will turn their country of freedom into a place of dictatorship from other countries.

“Perhaps Strikespell is doing it for mankind's own good. Ever thought of that?” Dr. G. Gar raised an eyebrow in stating another factor of one’s motive not seen by others.

“Mankind's own good. Right.” Twilight remotely stated that off as ironic, that’s not what she & anyone else saw.

“Perhaps this subject is...too painful to speak of. How about your investigation? Do you still have the amulet I gave you on our first session?” Dr. G. Gar replied off to say this in setting his tea down to fold his hands in changing the subject to something else to chat about.

“Yes, I've hidden it away since then. It was somewhat a big help to Crystal Prep over the years...I felt bad about not telling my friends about it…” Twilight replied off in still having the object the man gave her, even though she has kept it hidden from everyone.

“Tell me, the less they know about your little investigations, the better. Now then, getting back to your problems, I know you hate it here at Crystal Prep, I understand that & so does everyone else who knows better.” Dr. G. Gar responded off in stating these things while also making a suggestion of some pointers for the girl. “Look, just go through the upcoming Friendship Games, I will make arrangements in which you can be returned to your old friends.” He held up his hands in calmly saying this much in what he can do to help the girl be reunited with her friends.

“You can do that? But Strikespell...Jason…” Twilight was asking this in feeling hopeful, but then recalled those that don’t wanna let her go.

“Trust me, Sparkle. You will see that I’m not easily intimidated by those two, as most of everyone here does.” Dr. G. Gar exclaimed off to say this in being certain that everything will be alright, he will handle things for Twilight.

At this very moment, the bell rings without warning, much to the doctor's notice in seeing what it could mean.

“Session is over, I must get ready for the next student. We shall resume this conversation at the next session, Twilight.” Dr. G. Gar exclaimed to say this while getting his papers together.

“Thank you, doctor. You were always there for me besides Ben, my family, and my friends.” Twilight smiled in being thankful to this man for all he’s doing.

At the moment, Twilight heads to the door & opens it in slipping out of the room. Upon leaving though, there was a humanized Trenderhoof waiting outside there.

“Hey Sparkle. Done talking with the goat man?” Trenderhoof smirked off to ask in how Twilight was done with visiting the doc.

“That's enough, Trenderhoof. You may get away with it out there, but in my office, my laws is my laws. Now sit down on the couch while Bray make some more tea.” Dr. G. Gar sternly was stating this manner as he was near Twilight in lecturing the student.

At this moment, Twilight leaves while Trenderhoof enters, just as Bray approaches the doc. to have a private conversation.

“You think she suspects anything, doctor?” Bray whispered this out in discussing about Twilight.

“Not a thing. And once the Friendship Games is over, everything will change.” Dr. G. Gar exclaimed off to say this in what will happen after the set games take into effect.

While the two are moving, one could notice a ram-like shadow behind Dr. G. Gar, laughing wickedly. There was something not right about the man, but that is for another story entirely while things fade out….

Afterwards, we see that Crystal Prep’s daily schedule was coming to a close for the day. As the students are seen leaving the school, Twilight was seen leaving too while she was hanging out with Cadance at the time.

“I’d hope I can meet up with Ben & others. They told me on a text that they're gonna start the charity event.” Twilight spoke this off to Cadance about what he’s heard about what’s happening at Canterlot High. “It sounds fun. So I'll see you later, Cadance.” She stated off to say this in saying farewell to the girl.

“Sure. Don’t worry about Jason, Twilight. I’ll take care of that jerk if he wonders where you wandered off to.” Cadance smiled off to wave farewell to Twilight while assuring her that she’ll handle things on her side.

“You'd be careful, too.” Twilight replied back to the older girl in being careful in what she does.

As Twilight was seen heading off from Crystal Prep’s property area, she was on route to take a bus that would take her from the city to where Canterlot High is located. But before the girl could cross the street, a SUV Van suddenly stopped in front of her without warning. Then it got weirder because some black suited men slide a door off to immediately grab the girl.

“Hey! Let me go! What are you doing?!” Twilight protest out in being grab & pulled against her will by these strangers.

The suited men put poured something in a cloth before covering Twilight’s loud mouth to cover any unwanted attention. Slowly Twilight felt woozy before she fell unconscious as the men dragged her into the van before shutting the slider door shut. They then headed off at once by stepping on the gas to drive away from the scene. But without knowing it, Spike was tailing Twilight from leaving school, only to spot what he saw happen. Spike barked angrily & wildly at the van that was driving off, as he chased after it. But the vehicle went too fast for the little dog, as Spike had to stop from exhaustion, then started to whine in being upset & angry; what did those men want with Twilight? Everything goes black at this time to shroud this mystery.

----------------------------

Meanwhile at Canterlot High during the setting sunset part of the day, Trixie was outside during the moment. She was waiting for Boris & his gang to finish with some equipment & supplies for her moment to ‘wow’ the crowd with her amazing tricks. It was the perfect way to kick off the charity event with illusions & flashy scenes to get everyone to wanna help out.

“Boris & his boys are certainly running late, I told them to set the last fireworks up for the big day moment for the charity event.” Trixie sighs off to say as she was tapping her foot in wanting for the guys to finish up & meet her on the walk pad.

The girl sighs from all this waiting as she was moving back & forth on the walk pad, but then stops to sigh again.

“But still, the wait will be worth wild because afterwards….” Trixie stops herself to rethink things a bit as she squealed happily at the next thought. “Trixie will finally have the date with Boris! And Trixie deserved it too! Nothing is gonna ruin my moment!” She had things all well thought up, nothing was gonna ruin a date with Boris….nothing would.

But at this very moment, an SUV Van suddenly came up across the pad in where Trixie was. The noises made the girl turn around, only to see a sliding door & some black suited men emerged before coming to grab her.

“What the, who are you?” Trixie exclaimed off to say this as she was trying to fight back against this rude manner. “Noooooo! Keep away! Leave me alone! Heeeeelp!” She was screaming out in struggling as she was lifted off the ground to approach the van.

As Trixie was gonna continue this, the men used a liquid chemical in a rag to cover Trixie’s mouth which slowly caused her to get knock out in losing conscious. Soon the men were bringing Trixie to the van in preparing to head off, but at the same time, Boris & his gang came out of the school doors to see….an unconscious Trixie being carried by strange men.

“What the devil is going on?” Boris snapped off to say this i seeing this action happening.

“It looks like Trixie’s in a pinch.” Boxco pointed out in what he could guess here.

“And getting kidnapped too.” Dum Dum stated in noticing another factor to the manner.

Boris & his boys headed off to reach the van, but the vehicle took off to make a turn around a traffic spot, causing the boys to stop from more cars coming by that almost knock them over. They could do nothing but watch while seeing Trixie get taken away & out of sight.

“Trixie! Nooooooo!” Boris yelled out in seeing the girl leave them.

“What are we gonna do?!” Dum Dum yelped in not knowing what to do here.

“This is so bad!” Boxco exclaimed in seeing this was terrible thing to happen.

“We have no choice... We need help here & now. We’ll have to get someone & his friends to help. They maybe our only hope to get Trixie back.” Boris exclaimed in seeing that this was serious, they may have to get some aid from those they never expected to ask, but Trixie is worth the risk for him.

“Who?” Boxco and Dum-Dum asked off in not knowing who Boris was talking about.

The scene goes dark as Boris just runs off with his boys running after him, whatever is happening, we’re not sure until it may possibly come to light.

------------------------

We return to a familiar office in where we find Firmtact & Tarkin are together. At this time, a com was ringing on the cell phone by the desk as the woman presses it to hear someone’s voice come in.

“Director Firmtact. We have assembled all of the assets you had requested. We have taken them both without getting noticed by Mystic Knight.” An agent’s voice was heard in making his report of who they have caught.

“Good…you know what to do.” Firmtact simply responded before hanging up to look at Tarkin. “I don't need Strikespell's approval of this operation. I don't truly approve his methods in conquering the worlds as one. It isn’t done by that way. If we end Dark Curse & his accomplices, then the world can finally be in peace.” The woman explained off this matter on which she is doing things HER way even behind the backs of other superiors to take necessary steps.

“Even if it means defying Azure Phoenix's last order?” Tarkin questioned off if what they are doing will not get them in trouble from someone else who was in charge.

“Yes... But we must. We must end the chaos & Dark Curse before he could begin his scheme of destroying our world or letting Strikespell conquer the nations.” Firmtact issued forth in making this claim of what needs to be done before anyone takes another step. “We will begin with solving 'Project End'. Time to find out what Easter egg that Dark Curse is hatching…” As she stated this, she clutch her hands in wanting to be prepared to reveal what the villains are concocking.

“I’ve looked through the list of potential candidates in leading.” Tarkin nodded off to say this while looking over some listed names. “The only selective leaders are suitable are Reaperdeath, Deadblast, Twilight Sparkle and Trixie Lulamoon. They all better perform well before they get what's coming for them.” He issued that last part off in knowing what will come next will not be an easy cake walk.

“They better, besides…the selected criminals will cooperate or they shall have to forfeit something in return. Their lives…” Firmtact issued forth in stating this in sounding serious over the matter of what will be given up from some crooks.

“And if they resort to hold the teen girls to negotiation?” Tarkin raised an eyebrow in what they do if the criminals do something that crazy to save their skin.

“That’s been taken care of as well, if anything…we’ll at least secure Crystal Prep’s prize student to survive.” Firmtact exclaimed in making sure they keep Twilight safe & out of harm’s way.

“And the one from Canterlot High, Trixie Lulamoon?” Tarkin asked off about what happens if another casualty is someone not from Crystal Prep.

“Like I said, we will insure the one from Crystal Prep come back alive. The other one from Canterlot High, well…she’ll have to work harder to make it back, now won’t she?” Firmtact issued off in showing her sly & determine expression in sounding quite cold in tone in how the topic of Trixie is that the girl will have to work harder if she wants to make it back at all.

With that, the scene begins to go dark around this time, as many things are shrouded in darkness of what it is that Firmtact is planning that Twilight & Trixie…are getting involved in.

----------------------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile beneath the sewers, practically half to a whole day has gone by that the Mane Five, Sunset, Goldie’s group & the rest, escaped from their pursuers. Right now, they are trying to find the right direction to the police, but the pathways are shut by steel bars & can’t be removed manually.

“Ugh, darling….this is ridiculous! Crawling around in a filthy sewer is….is…..it’s disgusting beyond all reason!” Rarity complained off in not liking this situation they are in.

“Would you rather go back up there & face whoever is wanting to shoot at us?” Rainbow Dash remarked off to remind Rarity of who is after them, guys with guns equal trouble.

“Yer gonna have ta suck it up Rarity, besides, de price in getting’ our behinds out of dat there mess with a little messy wear is a small sacrifice ta pay.” Applejack pointed off in what they have to do, suck it up & deal with this.

“Easy for you to say, country folk don’t mind getting down & dirty.” Rarity remarked off to scoff the issue.

“Wha’s dat suppose ta mean?” Applejack narrow her eyes at Rarity for insulting her for being a country girl.

“Easy you two, the last thing we want is a cat fight.” Jack Zen intervenes the almost fighting motion between friends.

“Right, you wrestle it out & you’ll end up falling in the sewer water there, then worry about dripping or stench.” Goldie pointed off the off chance of getting more soaked & gross out than before.

“Any luck in where we’re heading, Ben?” Nyx asked off in hoping they are o the right track.

“No good, this path’s blocked, we’ll have to try another path.” Ben shook his head in sadly stating what they will have to do.

“Oh it’s hopeless….we’re going to be hiding in these stinking sewers like…SEWER RATS! All for the rest of our lives….this is the….WORSE….THING…EVER!” Rarity was exclaiming off in being a drama queen over what will become of them now.

“Calm down Rarity, yeah, I admit, things are looking a little…” Sunset pats her friend to not let this matter get the girl down.

“Stinky? Gassy? Icky?” Pinkie Pie was mentioning a lot of random things at the motion…

“I was going to say bad, but…” Sunset sighs to say in seeing Pinkie Pie mentioned off more then what she wanted.

“Oh, I never should have brought that black case, if I hadn’t, then we would not have gotten in this mess! And what a messy state I should say!” Rarity exclaimed in annoyance that this was partly her fault that they are here because of a case filled with alien tech.

“So what do we do now, whoever was trying to kill us, they know we got something they DON’T want the authorities to see?” Flash asked off in what they do from here if someone is preventing them from getting the authorities to look into what they got.

“Flash is right, our plan to turn this evidence of whatever we got are shot.” Ben held his chin in seeing their original plan is a no go now.

“Oh my, does that mean that they’ll keep hunting us? Couldn’t we leave it & hope them take it & let us go?” Fluttershy spoke off worried in trying to think of a way out of this.

“Haven’t you seen enough cop films to know, bad guys NEVER let someone that knows too much live!” Rainbow Dash told Fluttershy about how certain movies go from real life experiences.

“You mean they really will try to kill us, but that’s not fair! We don’t know anything!” Nyx protest to say this in thinking this was unfair.

“Not unless it’s an enemy that knows a little about who we are & have a record in stopping magical threats & alien & criminal terrorists.” Pinkamena rub her chin in thinking that whoever is after them know they are a lot of trouble for…business.

“If we’re gonna survive this, we need to solve this case of whoever is after us that they kill to get back this suit case full of weird Transformer type tech.” Goldie stated in what they need to do, find a way to figure out what is happening here to understand it.

“Maybe, but how….if Twilight was here, she might know what ta do next?” Applejack shrug off in not knowing how to even do something like that.

“Wait, maybe this can help us.” Sunset spoke off to say in showing something to everyone that was down.

“A match stick set.” Flash raised an eyebrow in what Sunset was showing them in confusion.

“No, the person who’s on it. Hoboken Joe told me some time ago, that if ever I needed a hand to uncover a tough case, I should visit an old detective pal of his.” Sunset stated in what to do, see a detective to help her understand a case she wants solved.

“A detective! Why darling, that’s brilliant!” Rarity exclaimed to say in liking the idea.

“Yeah, maybe if we find him, he can help us out of who’s after us.” Rainbow Dash smiled in agreement in liking where this is going.

“Cool! Hiring a private detective might be the best thing yet.” Pinkie Pie smiled forth in feeling extra perky of the thought.

“Well we know that trying to reach anyone on electronics won’t go by. Someone has our info to make sure we can’t get any other help even from Dragon Strike Force.” Flash rub his chin in seeing that phones, texts & stuff are out, so contacting anyone is a no show.

“Then let’s go, where does this detective live anyway.” Jack Zen stated that they just to meet the detective in person.

“Judging by the numbers on the sewer walls, we’re a few block meters away from his office.” Sunset check the sewers numbers & the address on the match stack to know where to go.

“Alright Sunset, you lead us….” Ben pointed off for the girl to lead.

“Are you sure?” Sunset asked if that’s alright.

“If Hobo Joe trust you with someone that could help us, then I trust his judgement.” Ben nods off with a smile that Hobo Joe is someone they can know, is on their side to know what’s what.

“We better hurry, it might be a matter of time before someone checks the sewers.” Goldie stated to say this in thinking they best hurry along.

“Oh my goodness, I hope they aren’t here to hurt any poor gators flushed here!” Fluttershy gasped in thinking about the poor sewer creatures, much to anyone’s surprise.

“Alright, follow me.” Sunset issued off for the gang to follow her now.

Soon everyone quickly goes off in following what directions Sunset has from the match stack to lead them. As the scene goes dark, the group are gonna be hoping that they can get some answers of what kind of mess they may have walked into. One thing’s for certain, someone wants them dead for having something they KILL to get back. Whatever the gang are gonna face next…will be a real mystery in the making…

Author's Notes:

Twilight's little 'therapy dream section', combines the opening sequence of "Alice: Madness Returns" with one of the trailers, sorta speak. It will foreshadow Dr. G Gar's role in Friendship Games Remake as a villain from the past, which will remain a surprise until then...

Man, things are getting crazy only to get crazier! Next chapter, as the group managed to slip across the sewer system while reading a city street number, they arrive at a local detective office where they must seek the help of none other than Detective Dan. Course upon first meeting, the group found Dan to be….more strange & weird, then a hard case experience detective, but Dan is no fool. The guy maybe seen as a klutzy fool, but he has ways of getting the toughest cases solved, leaving all stump shock. Can he help out, well gee, that’s a mystery in itself!
